CHAPTER ONE YHRISTMAS EVE, and the snow A was beginning to fall in wet, swirling masses. On a desert road in New Mexico, Bob Graham jerked his car to a stop and got out to clean the windshield wiper, which could ne longer pwh the clinging, mushy mass. Pulling his hat lower | over his eves, he peered ahsad into the growing darkness, The road was rapidly being leveled into white oblivion, and he was feeling very uncertain about the last turn he had made. “Oh, Christmas!” He wiped away the snowflakes that were collecting on his evelashes. “Here I figured to bs hanging up my sock in a nice warm hotel in Santa Fe tonight— even though I would only get my foot in it tomorrow. Then Robbins gets a brainstorm .and sends me off on this wild goose chase. Great business-—-this trying to earn a living selling tires, Why wasn't I! born rich instead of handsome?” He clambered back inside and,’ after a minute's tussie to get the car started, moved off carefully into the darkness. ® = =» " ALF an hour of driving, and now the road was distinctly rising. Bob was conscious of high canvon walls looming on either side. Perhaps he should have gone the other way, but he had thought he war following directions exactly. Well, there was no chance to turn back now. He'd push ahead until he came to a place where he could out where he was. Maybe a farmhouse or—the car began to slow down, and, in spite of all his efforts, finally groaned to a dead stop. There was nothing to do but get out in the ankle-deep snow. A hurried examination revealed exactly nothing, and after several attempts to start, Bob was forced to admit that he was struck. He] climbed back into the car to warm | up and to light a cigaret. He was wondering how it would

N a minute the second car stopped and Bob got out to explain his predicament. A good- | looking young man of about Bob's | age leaned out to talk to him. |

the fire and candies seemed unable to cope with the shadows that hung on the dull gray walls, and the crude, rawhide-covered furniture looked uncomfortable and stiff. Again Bob was conscious of that sensation of apprehension that had come over him when he first came to the mesa. Thunder Mesa was a strange sort of name, he decided, but it certainly suited this place. Well, he'd leave as soon as he could in the morning. He'd rather buck snowdrifts than stay in a place that made shivers chase up and | down his spine for no reason at, all. He looked at his host more | closely.
